Honorary Pierateer celebrates the 10,000 page views landmark

While we at www.pierate.co.uk keep a close eye on the quality of
the reviews that get posted on the blog, and have stringent blogging standards
that official Pierateers need to keep, at some point you just have to throw out
an honorary pierateer title to people who have shown commitment to the blog
beyond the norm. The Senei are a case in point. And this includes even awarding
titles to those who have not yet been able to supply an example pie review write
up for analysis of their food critic skills and ability to have a bit of pun!

So it is with great pleasure that to mark the landmark
10,000 page views on pierate.co.uk, I can officially announce that the first
Honorary Pierateer is tOBy walteR:

I don’t think anyone can deny the elation on his face at
being bestowed such an honour (which incidentally outranks honorary degrees
from both Cambridge and Oxford Universities).

As can be seen in the photo below, the focus on the pie box
is learnt at an early age, with the youngest Senei (a big lad, at 6 months old
now) certainly being unable to be left sitting around with a box full of pies
just “lying around”. And Toby certainly has good taste – going straight for the
Mr Kipling Apple Pies (which, incidentally if you haven’t spotted it from the
box, are one of the highest ranked pies on this blog at 6.42/7). The way he pounces on the pie with both hands is almost
cat like, but shows he truly is well into his solids now, and that there is
clearly only one solid that he really wants to get his hands on – the pie!

Many thanks for the hours of patience put in to capture
these amazing photos of a pie-craving child in his natural habitat.

I guess the question now is...who will be the next Honorary
Pierateer when the blog – due to your fantastic support and regular viewing –
hits 25,000 page views?!
